Hello, I 'm having trouble with the latest Arduplane V3.3.0 (6be0932d).Got a Pixhawk (so far working perfectly on a quad) and flashed it with the above Arduplane version. Connected to MP to be told…Continue

"Guys, I have been following your posts with great interest and they are indeed very cool but, um, $399 for a Raspberry Pi 3 in a box, a flashed SD card, a power module and some cables? Since the cost of the hardware is around $100, does this mean…"
